There’s an interesting “Better Than…?” series going on over at This Just In. In each installment, a regional guidebook author picks a busy, major attraction and offers a comparable (or arguably, even better) alternative—and, happily, manages to do so without putting down anyone who might prefer to see the big-ticket sites as tourist sheep. The targets so far: the Duomo in Florence, Buckingham Palace and Stonehenge.

Got any “Better Than…?” suggestions of your own?
